How can we help?
Legal assistance in the world of football
Football has undergone unprecedented professionalisation in recent decades. Belgian top clubs are involved in transfers worth hundreds of millions of euros, while amateur football too faces increasingly complex legal issues.
This professionalisation brings with it a particularly complex legal environment in terms of disciplinary law, contract law, transfer and employment law, and tax planning. Everest Sports Law provides tailored assistance in each of these areas.
No-obligation consultationOur services
Disciplinary law
The RBFA has extensive disciplinary regulations, as does FIFA at international level. Everest Sports Law assists players, clubs, coaches and agents in all disciplinary proceedings: from unjustified suspension decisions and transfer disputes to stadium bans, licensing disputes and sanctions imposed by the Pro League or FIFA.
Agreements & transfers
Player, transfer and coaching contracts are complex legal documents whose wording can be decisive for your career or your club. We assist you with the negotiation, drafting and disputing of player contracts, transfer agreements, agency agreements and sponsorship contracts — both domestically and internationally.
Tax assistance
Professional footballers and clubs face particular tax and social security issues: VAT remittances, payroll withholding tax, declaration of foreign income and the status of the professional athlete. Everest Sports Law guides you through the entire tax and social security maze, both domestically and across borders.
